UPDATE: Overnight/Refrigerator Oats

[Deleted]

I know you are all glued to your screens waiting for my update lol

I did equal parts:
Old fashioned oats
Vanilla Greek yogurt 
Toasted coconut almond milk

add-ins:
1 tsp chocolate syrup
8 chopped toasted coconut almonds (Blue Diamond brand)
7-8 raspberries

Delicious! I think next time I'll use less yogurt and more oats but it was really good! Next up is brown sugar maple pecan something or other.

Did you follow along months ago? Then you've missed nothing. Because there has been no update, damnation pretty much disappeared, but now is back and posting as if there isn't anything lots of posters clearly remember. If you didn't follow along back then you've missed a lot, lol.

Where is your stepdaughter? Did you send her back?

[W.T.Faulkner]

Your oatmeal posting rights have henceforth been terminated UNTIL you tell us how your stepdaughter is doing.

[05heel]

Fuck your cold ass oatmeal. That shit's nasty anyway.

So how's your stepdaughter? Did you make her repeat a grade? Is her bedtime at like, 5:00 now?

[Deleted]

She's doing great! We're all still in therapy, she's in a summer enrichment program for ESL students and is getting ready to start HS in the fall.

I know how ML loves a good update but that's really it. I'd like to post here more often but not about my kids or my H specifically. I learned my lesson and prefer to keep some things private moving forward. If that makes me boring, so be it. ML is always a good read.

Oh, I also got a new boss at work and I really like her so that's going well for the first time in many years.

Wait, is this the poster who her and her husband worked hard to get the kid over to them and then things got hard and she wanted to send her back or make her go to bed really early or something? Basically didn't want to let her be a kid?

Yes. And was letting her son sleep with the stepdaughter. Was upset SD wanted to sleep with the light on and had different bathroom habits than we (Americans) are used to. And wanted to voluntarily hold SD back to repeat 8th grade. Everyone urged OP to get the family into counseling, even before SD moved, but that was largely ignored. But apparently it's all ok now and they're "still" going to therapy! Even though that's brand new info and they weren't the last time she posted.

So is this a real, live bilingual therapist, or are you all just taking online personality quizzes and sharing your results via Google translate?

¿Qué tipo de pasta es usted?
Usted consiguió: Espagueti siendo alimentado a un pequeño perro por una mujer solitaria

Te gusta pensar que eres independiente, impulsado y responsable, pero su vida es sólo una colección vertiginosa de malas decisiones y giros de la trama tristes. No es un animal llenos de enfermedades en su contra, pero es la menor de sus preocupaciones.

I am sitting here like a fool trying to translate this with my (many moons ago now) high school/college spanish.

Woman. Bad decisions. You think you're independent? Lolll

SD is not used to being able to dispose of toilet paper by flushing in the toilet, OP was upset that she kept putting it in the trash. Even though it's obviously a huge cultural change for SD, OP seemed to lack empathy in any situation.

You got : Spaghetti being fed a small dog on a lonely woman

You like to think that you are independent , driven and responsible, but his life is just a dizzying array of bad decisions and sad twists of plot. It is not an animal disease-ridden against him, but it's the least of your worries

If you want to start over you will have to get a new account.

Well, considering her choice of name, we know that she's learning at least a little bit of Spanish! 

[lilafowler]

The app only shows me the username and not the display name. She never stopped being damnation to me lol.

Is there a way I can fix that?
